Special event

The Realm of Humanity: a talk by Dr. Larry Ward

May 22, 2024

7:00pm - 8:30pm EDT

Deep, deeper, deeper still

Our style of teaching is about going beyond the surface exploration of spiritual practice to an embodied perspective that applies to daily life. The spiritual journey we are on is not linear. Each progression contains what came before and builds on it. This river flows through everything we do at the Lotus Institute.

  • The Lotus Institute has been a lighthouse for our foundation. Helping to guide our decisions in programming and mission and purpose. We could not serve the way that we are without Peggy, Larry and the entire Lotus team.

    —Patt Webb, Silence Foundation

  • I deeply appreciate your team. Thank you for all that do to be a force of positive change in this world.

    —Serene Grimstad

  • Knowledge is the greatest obstacle to going deeper. As Lotus Institute says, “deep, deeper, deeper still”. This is the gift of practice that keeps me impassioned on this path.

    —Peter Kuhn

  • Love is Lotus Institute.

    —Robert O'Keefe

  • Thank you Larry, once again, for your explicit reminders of how to listen to our bodies! These are skills I never learned as a child, and I find I am really needing instruction on as an adult.

  • We just returned home with deep gratitude for the teachings and your wisdom and guidance. We are quietly integrating what was a very rich and full retreat, and we expect that this is a process that will continue to unfold.

    —Mary Michal and David Haskin

  • Your dharma talks are straightforward & uplifting. Thank you both for your love and resourcefulness.

    —Caron Peters
